March 1, 1963 George Armbruster pours in a game-high 27 points to help Jim Thorpe claim the District 11 Class C championship with a 72-35 victory over Coplay. The Olympians, coached by Kenny Kline, race to a 17-2 first-quarter lead and are never threatened in the contest. Larry Morris contributes to the win by scoring 13 points while Jack Kmetz chips in with 12.
